Problem with Xen instance creation

One of my Xen servers is having an issue -- when attempting to create a new xen instance it fails and generates the error

Creating virtual system with Xen .. .. creation failed : LVM logical volume creation failed : Invalid argument vol1 Error during parsing of command line.

I'm not really sure why this should be happening -- vol1 is in fact a volume on the system with a lot of free space -- and this used to work fine. I'm not quite sure where to proceed in debugging this.

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Try upgrading your Xen host system to Webmin 1.562 , which can be downloaded from http://www.webmin.com/devel.html in RPM format . I am guessing you are running version 1.561, which contains a bug that can cause this error.

The commands to do this are :

wget http://download.webmin.com/devel/rpm/webmin-current.rpm
rpm -U webmin-current.rpm

Yup -- that fixed it. Thanks for the quick response -- it apparently stopped working when we did the Webmin update on the server.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
